Pros

Unfortunately nothing comes to mind

Cons

Cautionary tale... Do not join LinkedIn if you have any real world experience as you are just trading time for money, with no value added to your skills D-grade sales managers who lack knowledge, professionalism and industry experience and management skills; incompetence breeds incompetence In my time there, I did not learn anything from my role or manager with the exception of what kind of manager I do not want to be Sales targets are highly unrealistic and tone-deaf to what is happening in the world and with clients As the product is highly discretionary (despite what they will have you believe) means a majority of sales do not achieve their targets and therefore overall pay is significantly below expectations Negligible contribution from cross-functional partners i.e. CSM, marketing etc. means the sales is a one-man/woman force - you will shoulder the burden for everything despite paying for the existence of multiple support departments Below market pay combined with intense stress, toxicity of environment and lack of career growth and learning opportunities means the role is only for those that are desperate

Pros

LinkedIn has an amazing overall global culture with some great benefits. -Catered breakfast & lunch -Healthcare -1 Day per month for employee and community engagement -In office gym -Strong mission and vision Unfortunately these benefits are now table stakes within Saas companies and are not enough to make up for the cons.

Cons

-Lack of opportunity for growth within the CSM team (consistently hiring external and not promoting within) -Below average compensation that lead great employees to leave -No diversity across sales - especially LTS. The employees do not represent the customer base -Favouritism across the team -Concerning internal politics (Management reputation is a higher priority than their team and morale) -Lack of support and coaching from middle management -Overwhelming workloads

Pros

used to be a great culture

Cons

Politics; leaders value visibility over performance, highlighted in top performers being laid off and hanging onto people that are more visible. Culture and values are not realistic as leaders dont follow them. Open honest and constructive is one example, everything is secret and fed to you on a need to know basis. You would think we work in the CIA how they handle comms for some basic changes
